You never played any online MUDs/games with votekicking enabled, I take it?

This always ends with a power clique banding together to vote everyone else off. "Just for lulz," of course.

There is no solution to this except mutiny. Ban the corrupt leader and elect someone favorable. Delegating rule to the mob is tried-and-failed.

Played CS 1.6 religiously.

However, you can base the democratic system based on the reputation of the user, rather than total number of votes. CS1.6 did not have these advanced systems in place.
